They’re probably looking at Ukraine manufacturing cheaper weapons and getting FOMO. But instead of actually learning how Ukraine is innovating these guys are just " let’s do the same things but cheaper". Truly innovation that only an MBA can think of.
To me this looks like it’s already been out-innovated by the USAF:

Range of 40nm, other glide bombs have longer range.
This world is a joke and we’re just watching the punchline.
I kind of wonder if this whole movement of rationalists believing they can “just” make things better than people already in the field comes from the contracting sense that being rich and having an expensive educational background may in fact be less important than having background experience and situational context in the future, two things they loath?
